Dear Friends,

I am about to embark on a tremendous journey. One fraught with danger at every turn. Each person has a destiny. Mine, to conquer the disaster that is our second guest bedroom. While this may not look dangerous now, know that there are two boxes in the hallway that need to be emptied and stored in here too. And a bookcase.

Do not worry about me, my friends. I have been preparing for this event since I work up this morning. I am fortified with iced coffee, eggo waffles with peanut butter, and DVDs. I am prepared for all contingencies; my ipod is fully loaded with new music.

Thank you for your support and your prayers. Without you, it would not be possible for me to take this first step. If I do not return from this journey, do not mourn my loss. Instead, tell Bill to go through all his damn cables and organize them so that my effort was not in vain.

Sincerely,

Margaret
